ZABAL GAMEZ Workshop w/Duo Do

Duo Do is Clementine and Santiago, an independent musical project from Buenos Aires that makes what they call genre-free and emotion music. In a warm, wide-ranging conversation, Clementine shares how Farcaster changed not just how they earn from music, but how they think about it - trading the streaming numbers chase for real one-to-one connection. She walks through the tools that made their career more sustainable: tips, collecting, and crowdfunding grants from Flows and Lil Nouns that funded a music video, a live show, and a pressed vinyl. It is a story about community over numbers, collaborations that turned into friendships (a residency at Kismet Casa in Rome, custom outfits from Generic Vibes), building their first mini app, and why the most valuable thing anyone can give you is their time.

• 48:36Where to find Duo Do

• Trade the streaming numbers chase for real one-to-one connection; that is where a sustainable independent career forms.
• Tips and collecting let a community support artists directly, even when a single sale is small.
• Crowdfunding lets you invite people to create with you instead of paying for everything alone - Duo Do funded a video, a show, and a vinyl this way.
• Do not be afraid to ask. On Farcaster someone will always share the tool or the answer you need.
• Meet people in real life when you can. It forges the online connection into something deeper.
